What to expect
When should I arrive?
Graduands are requested to arrive two hours before the ceremony start time, ensuring there is adequate time for registration, robing and graduand briefing.
Guests are invited to be seated approximately 30 minutes prior to the ceremony start time.
Seating is allocated by the venue. We recommend that you advise the respective venues regarding any accessibility requirements in advance.
What happens on stage?
At the start of the ceremony, graduands and guests are asked to stand while the academic procession enters the hall. All then remain standing until the presiding officer is seated.
The chairperson opens the ceremony, then the presiding officer gives a short welcome address. Graduands are then presented to the presiding officer. After all graduands have been presented, the chairperson invites the student representative to give the occasional address.
At the conclusion of the speeches, graduates and guests are asked to stand for the departure of the academic procession.
How long is graduation?
The graduation ceremony takes approximately 90 minutes, depending on the number of graduands attending.
Information for graduands
We have comprehensive information about graduating including registration, important dates and academic dress for current students and students who have already received their parchment.
Ceremony venue
Where do I graduate?
All graduation ceremonies will be held at The Star Brisbane, located on the banks of the Brisbane River. The Star Brisbane is surrounded by accessible public transport and is a short walk from QUT Gardens Point.
Do I have guest tickets?
Tickets for graduation ceremonies can be arranged by graduands at the time of registration.
There is a limit on tickets to ensure all graduands have the opportunity for family and friends to attend the graduation ceremony.
What about access?
The Star Brisbane provides access and facilities to enable all visitors to attend events.
With advance notice, we will be able to accommodate a range of individual needs, and we strongly encourage graduands to notify staff at the time of registration.
